Pandemic Hot Zone North America Game Review

Pandemic Hot Zone North America game is a co-operative game of strategy and team building to stop the three deadly viruses from spreading all over the world! This is not the first time we have come across the Pandemic genre by Z-Man games. We have previously reviewed the Pandemic game and the game is unique and fun as you are not working alone to fight against the virus. Just wondering if Trump had played this game before, he might be able to deal with the current pandemic in a better way!

Just One Game Review

Just One is a simple, yet challenging co-operative word game where everyone uses just one word each to win the game!

It is suitable for three to seven players, and from age eight onwards.

Unlock! Secret Adventures Review

Unlock! Secret Adventures is the fourth Unlock! range by Space Cowboys we have reviewed and each game has continued to entertain us to the max! We love this range of adventure cooperative card games.

As a quick explanation to this card game, it follows a very similar format to those real escape rooms but here you can play in the comfort of your own home. The game requires players to cooperate to search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles, in order to solve the puzzles before the timer runs out. There are three full one-hour scenarios in the box, as well as a 10 minute taster game to get the hang of how to play.

Get A HINT Board Game Review

HINT is an entertaining guessing game through hinting via drawing, humming, talking and miming about the word for your teammates to guess. The better you are at hinting the word and your teammates guessing it correctly, the faster your team can advance on the game board. But there is a twist in this game! On each card, there is a forbidden word you are not allowed to guess! So be careful with any wild guessing as your team may lose a point! The teams take turns and the first team to make it to the finish space wins.

Takenoko Board Game Review

This cute and adorable Takenoko board game is a strategic game set at the Japanese Imperial court. A long time ago, the Chinese Emperor offered a giant panda bear as a symbol of peace to the Japanese Emperor. Since then, the Japanese Emperor has entrusted his court members (the players) with the difficult task of caring for the animal by tending to his bamboo garden. The game is for two to four players and aged eight and above.

This is my latest review for the Asmodee UK Blogger Board Game Club and we have received this roll-and-write Corinth game. This is a strategy board game where players take the role of traders from all corners of the Mediterranean Sea to Corinth to sell their goods during 4th century BCE. The Persian carpets, Cretan olive oil, Roman grapes, and Egyptian spices are highly prized by traders.

Azul is an abstract strategy game designed by Michael Kiesling and was released by Plan B Games in 2017. This is a relatively new game but it has won a number of board gaming awards, so we were eagerly anticipating playing this game!

7 Wonders Game Review – 1st Edition

7 Wonders is a strategy game where you build your city by gather resources, develop commercial routes, and affirm your military supremacy to become one of the seven great cities of the Ancient World to win the game.

This award-winning game has been around since 2010 and has been loved by many gamers. It is for aged 10 & above, and for two to seven players. I think that this game is nicer to play with at least three players rather than just two. For two players, there is an official two-player variant included in the instructions on page 7.

SET Game Review

SET is a fast-thinking and challenging visual card game where players race to find as many sets as quickly as possible. It is suitable for aged six and above, for one to eight players.

Inside this box, there are 81 cards where each card contains four features: colour (red, purple or green), shape (oval, squiggle or diamond), number (one, two or three) and shading (solid, striped or outlined). Players have to identify three cards where each feature, when looked at individually, is either all the same OR all different.
